In the Trial Ground, on the first floor of the inn.

  Coming out of his room, Chen Yue was surprised to find that the hall was full of people at this time. It was nothing like the previous days when it was so sparsely populated. It was as if all the remaining trial participants had gathered together.

  After looking around for a long time, Chen Yue couldn't find a seat to sit in.

  Just when he was feeling troubled, someone suddenly stood up in the distance and greeted Chen Yue loudly.

  Chen Yue looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was West. However, besides him, there were several other apostles sitting at his table.

  After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yue still walked over and sat down in an empty seat.

  "Chen Yue, do you know what day it is today?" As soon as he sat down, West leaned over and said somewhat seriously.

  "What day?" Chen Yue was stunned when he heard this. His eyes swept over the many apostles in the hall, and suddenly an idea popped into his head. He was immediately shocked and said, "Right, today is the day for the second teleportation of the Trial Hall."

  "Yes." A murderous look appeared on West's handsome face, and he said coldly, "That guy Kaxiu might already be in the Trial Ground by now."

  Chen Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and a bit of murderous intent also emanated from his eyes.

  Finally, it was time to face Kaxiu head-on.

  "However, the Teleportation Hall uses random teleportation. At this moment, no one knows where he is. And for him to reach the Trial City, he must pass through the dangerous area. It will take at least three or four days..."

  Speaking of this, Chen Yue frowned slightly and said, "West, isn't it a bit too early?"

  "No, it's not early at all." West said coldly, "Chen Yue, do you want to wait until he reaches the Trial City before taking action? He's an apostle at the peak of the third level. If we let him recover his strength, it won't be easy to kill him. Our best chance to take action is when he's passing through the dangerous area."

  "Take action in the dangerous area?" Hearing this, Chen Yue showed a hint of sarcasm.

  You should know that there were over a thousand teleportation points to the Trial Ground. It was extremely difficult to figure out Kaxiu's current position, and it was impossible to guess which direction he would take to pass through the dangerous area, let alone intercept and kill him in the dangerous area.

  Every time the Trial Ground was opened, the number of people in the first teleportation was the largest, and then it would decrease successively. There were probably at most a hundred people in this second wave, and they would naturally be more scattered. It was even more difficult to accurately find Kaxiu's position.

  West's proposal at this time was undoubtedly a bit fanciful.

  Seeing the sarcasm in Chen Yue's eyes, West's eyes flickered, and he said, "Whether we can succeed or not, we should at least give it a try to be satisfied."

  Chen Yue looked at him with a bit of surprise. West's words actually showed some boldness.

  Chen Yue was also a bit tempted by his proposal. Although his strength had improved greatly now and he had even managed to kill Andre, who was at the peak of the third level, through underhanded means, and he might not necessarily lose to Kaxiu even in a head-on confrontation, a figure of this level should never be underestimated. Just seeing that Andre could even take out the Rock Shield was enough to know that people of their level couldn't be underestimated. Not to mention that behind Kaxiu, there were four disciples supporting him wholeheartedly.

  "Alright then." After hesitating for a while, Chen Yue said slowly.

  Hearing Chen Yue's affirmative reply, West was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "Come on, Chen Yue. Let me introduce you. These friends will help us take action together then."

  With that, he pointed to the other people at the table and was about to introduce them to Chen Yue with a smile.

  Chen Yue was stunned when he heard this. He glanced at West, who was full of smiles, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

  It seemed that during this period of time, his main focus of efforts had been here.

  The Trial Ground was extremely chaotic. The weak not only had to face the threat of primeval beasts but also had to be careful of being plotted against by other apostles. Therefore, in order to survive better, it was quite common for several or even a dozen apostles to join together to form a team.

  Andre and the other two were a vivid example.

  West was not strong enough, so it was reasonable for him to team up with other apostles.

  However...

  Looking at these apostles, Chen Yue sneered in his heart. Since West was so confident as to let them participate in such a major event as intercepting and killing Kaxiu, it could be seen that he trusted them to a certain extent. There must be an extremely solid relationship of interests between them.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Today, they could help West kill Kaxiu. Then, tomorrow, they might turn their knives against him.

  After all, there was no real basis for cooperation between him and West. After dealing with Kaxiu, it would be a fight between the two of them. If things went wrong, it would be normal for them to fight to the death.

  Thinking of this, Chen Yue suddenly lost interest in these people. He didn't pay much attention to West's introduction. All he knew was that among these five people, there was only one third-level apostle, and the rest were all second-level ones.

  It could be seen how weak their strength was.

  Come to think of it, there were quite a number of second-level apostles in the first wave who entered. However, after a month of elimination, most of those who could still survive had banded together. These five people plus West could be considered quite powerful. No wonder West was so confident and wanted to go out to intercept and kill Kaxiu.

  However, in the eyes of a real powerhouse, they were just like worthless chickens and dogs.

  Chen Yue's indifferent attitude immediately angered the other five people.

  The third-level apostle snorted coldly and said, "He's just a second-level apostle. What's there to be proud of?"

  The only woman among the five also said coldly, "West, for the matter of intercepting and killing Kaxiu, the six of us are enough. I'm afraid he'll ruin our plan instead."

  "Right. We've cooperated very well in the past month. With one more person, we'll be unaccustomed." Another person said sinisterly.

  One after another, their words all showed their dislike and distrust of Chen Yue.

  Chen Yue didn't care. Anyway, they would never be his friends, and a falling out was inevitable sooner or later, so he naturally didn't take it to heart.

  "West, I think we should think it over carefully." Looking at them one by one, Chen Yue said indifferently.

  West was extremely embarrassed. He winked at the five people before saying to Chen Yue solemnly, "Chen Yue, anyway, we are now in a cooperative relationship. It's not safe outside the city now. Without a team, it's very dangerous. I don't want you to die before we face Kaxiu."

  "What do you mean?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows.

  "Ignorant." The third-level apostle snorted.

  West smiled wryly and made a gesture of apology to Chen Yue before saying, "Don't you know? Hehe, a heavyweight figure among the trial participants has died this time."

  "Who?"

  "Andre, the disciple trial participant at the peak of the third level." West stared closely at Chen Yue. Only when he saw that Chen Yue had no reaction did he breathe a sigh of relief and sneered, "At the peak of the third level, plus his two companions, who were also experts among the third-level ones. Humph, such a person actually died on the Red Stone Plain. Tsk tsk, how many people at the peak of the third level are there among the trial participants this time? Since he's dead, everyone else must be feeling insecure."

  "Sure enough..."

  There was no abnormal expression on Chen Yue's face, but his heart was stirred. When West first mentioned the heavyweight figure, he had already suspected it. He didn't expect that it was indeed Andre.

  His eyes swept over the hall full of people, and Chen Yue also understood why so many people had gathered here.

  The apostles at the peak of the third level could be counted on one's fingers.

  Since such a person had died, one could imagine the panic of the other apostles.

  Although many apostles had died before, their strength wasn't that great, and not many people paid attention to it. At this time, with Andre's death, even those several apostles at the peak of the third level became a bit uneasy.

  In such a situation, even the most confident people wouldn't dare to go out alone, and teams emerged as a result.

  "Actually, even without this incident, teams like this would have appeared after a while." West added, "Otherwise, few of the current trial participants have the strength to hunt third-grade primeval beasts."

  Chen Yue was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he understood. Life essence was so precious that, of course, the more the better. However, the Trial Ground was only opened once every hundred years, and most of the people in it probably only had this one chance in their lifetime, so they naturally wouldn't let it go easily and would definitely try every means to hunt primeval beasts.

  By that time, the third-grade primeval beasts, which few people dared to provoke before, would probably be exhausted from dealing with the attacks of the trial participants.

  There was one more point that West didn't mention, but Chen Yue could guess. In the later stage, in order to obtain more life essence, the fighting among apostles would probably become extremely fierce.

  At that time, without forming a team, few people would be able to survive. After all, these teams would definitely target the lone wolves first.

  Thinking of this, Chen Yue felt a bit headache. He also realized the importance of joining a team.

  However, the team of six people on West's side was definitely not an option. So, he had to choose others to cooperate with.

  Looking around in the hall, Chen Yue was hesitant in his heart.

  Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the staircase entrance. And when this person appeared, the originally somewhat noisy hall suddenly became quiet as if a basin of cold water had been poured over it.

  Chen Yue's pupils suddenly contracted. This person was not unfamiliar to him. It was none other than that extremely beautiful woman like a snow lotus on a high mountain.
